The answer

There is no objection to a woman providing specific information, such as height and weight, to the intermediary involved in a marriage proposal, as long as there is nothing suspicious about the intermediary, and a strong presumption of her seriousness is sufficient. Taking a known fee for intermediation is permissible, and it falls under the category of ju'alah (a stipulated reward for a service).
